I don't know if this should be mentioned, but Nas is talking about "blindfolding" and says "Like Hugh Grant in 8 1/2 Weeks". I think he's talking about Mickey Rourke in 9½ Weeks, as it has an infamous blindfold scene.

I totally agree that it should be mentioned: Although Nas' rap was not released on the album, the '8 1/2 weeks' line was in the video and several singles, and I just saw an 'updated' version of the video on youtube which has the corrected line. Perhaps he's mixing 9 months with 9 1/2 weeks? Kurtto02:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This information would need to be cited by a third-party, reliable source to be included in the article. Unfortunately, I could barely find any sources that talk about the lyrics, let alone something this specific. This is a super late message (11 years after the last two postings), but I just wanted to put this up. Aoba47 (talk) 19:11, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
